Woah.
Terrible experience editing tonight with the latest Photoshop. I'm finding it very unresponsive - an action that's just duplicating a layer, insert a white fill layer and then adding a curves adjustment layer takes upwards of five seconds when on the previous version, it was done in an instant.
Worse still, there's no longer any pressure sensitivity from my Wacom tablet.
Just clicking a layer on and off in a 10 megapixel file with 3 layers in it takes so long it's hard to make comparisons.
This is on a quad core i7 with 16 GB of RAM running Windows 8.1.
Creative Cloud is the only software running on the machine. And just prior to upgrading, I installed a fast SSD which is benchmarking at over 400 mb/s for reads and writes. Whilst this has made Lightroom blisteringly fast, it no where near compensates for Photoshop being an order of magnitude slower.
The frustrating part is, PS isn't hogging any resources and it's using considerably less memory than it used to.
Is anyone else having similar experiences?
An Adobe staff member has admitted there are performance problems with font layers in images and they are working on a fix for that.
